Installing packages on Cygwin

Aug 2nd, 2009

Hi all,

When installing packages on cygwin, I'm not sure of the differences in selecting the bin and src.

Can someone help? Thanks

The bin version is if you just want to run the programs.

The src is if you want to actually edit the program, read what it does, figure out how it works, make changes, fix bugs immediately etc etc.
